It’s a beautiful day

Woo hoo! It’s finally here! The first real day that it feels like Spring (even though it’s May, and Spring officially started a month ago)!

Forty isn’t old, if you’re a tree

Forty isn’t old, if you’re a tree

So, does life really begin at 40?  I turned the big four-oh on Sunday, and it feels….I don’t know, weird. You know, when you are young, you look forward to turning 18, and then 21 because it is cool, because it is when you become an adult and can do things you couldn’t do when you … Continue reading »

Creepy Crawlers (or Cheeky Crawlers as I like to call them!) are approximately 9 month old babies that are starting to become independent and are on the move.

The Secret Room

The Secret Room

This year at the twins’ school Christmas fair, they had a room called The Secret Room. This is the kind of room that you would imagine Santa’s little helpers to be working away in the night before Christmas. Although, I use the term working very loosely, as this was a fun room!
